Q: Hey team,

I seem to recall this theme being addressed as it pertains to Shopify but after listening to the PayPal CEO on Mad Money last night I Have to wonder if LSPD would not be a nice add for Paypal? It sounds like they really want to get more directly involved with retail/restaurants and POS to expand how people use their service. Could you foresee this happening and would you consider PYPL a buy today? Their CEO came across well.

Q: My thinking is that as we come out of these unusual times, most people will be hesitant to travel by plane or train or even bus. Day trips and shorter excursions to explore our beautiful country may be the norm. Is there a company or companies to invest in to reflect this upcoming alternative vacationing? Possibly an RV company or one that rents motor homes? Thnks Dennis

Q: Thank you for this great service.
I own in gold stocks AEM, KL and GORO (recommended from another newsletter.)
Each stock represents about 1% of total holdings. (3% so far.)
Would like to bring gold &/or gold companies up to about 5%.
What would you add/increase or change here to get to 5% total. Please add / change towards conservative leanings.
Thank you.

Q: I am looking at Chartwell (CSH.UN) and wondering if the stock has been unfairly punished by the terrible issues that Sienna and other LTC facilities have experienced. Apparently Chartwell is a well managed company and it only has about 10% of its facilities in LTC. I am thinking to buy CSH at the current low prices. I would appreciate your thoughts and guidance.
Thank you, Patrick

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
My question is on withholding tax on US equities/etfs. If I purchase dividend-paying US equities in a non-registered account, there will be tax withheld which I can use at tax time as foreign tax credit to reduce my Canadian tax. What if I purchase a dividend-paying US etf, how would withholding tax come into play in this scenario?
Also there is no withholding tax on dividend-paying US equities if they are purchased for a registered account. Would US withholding tax apply if a dividend-paying US etf is purchased for a registered account?
Cheers,

Q: Thank you for the information on CloudMD, I accidently had it flagged as private, my follow-up question is, I was interested in the company due to the remote health services and digitizing the medical sector, I did well with a company in the past in this space but it was bought out and looking for another. I know Telus is in this space but very small compared to it's other business. Any suggestions?

Q: Morning 5i,

Looking to diversify our portfolios
Longterm hold.
Wanting to add a real estate position(s)
Obviously we could go up or down due to covid and a rougher than expected recovery.

Looking for advice on which to do first.
ETF, such as above OR pure play such as CAR.UN?
Which is a huge portion of XRE anyways.
*your top rec's in this sector would be greatly appreciated as well.

Understanding the risks and dynamics our thought was adding an attractive pure play at lower valuation and then the reit assuming it may be depressed for a longer time period.

Looking forward to your advice and thank you for the great stuff here! The info is tremendous.

Q: Stagflation is beginning to be mentioned as a medium term possibility. What sector(s) provide best protection against this and could see growth? Can you recommend an ETF or two (if a handful of individual companies would be better, please recommend a couple instead). Thank you in advance.
